I think the commenter just told you what is better than that - striking up a conversation that isn't looks-based. Go to places where people have common interests with you. Meet women that way. And yes, bars and festivals and other social events that aren't part of our every day duties (when we feel tired and just want…

There are other ways to relate to women you're interested in than talking about their looks. If you feel you must pick women up at places besides bars and concerts and the like, then try to find something to joke about or some common interest. She's wearing a Neil Young t-shirt and you like one of his albums in…

Wow, what a smart, thoughtful teacher you had. I wish all people were that reflective.

Precisely. My mother works a desk job but she speaks to mentally ill and violent people. Not a social worker but close. Another relative is a nurse at a facility for the mentally challenged and she was attacked many times. What about all of the men who work on Wall Street and other prestigious executive positions?…

Exactly what I was thinking. If it's a style and way of being, why does it have to be perceived through race? I wouldn't think of Hepburn first but Mae West, Marlene Dietrich, or any number of women with a sultry charisma and devil-may-care attitude (along with less traditional style) would also fit the bill,…

Social workers are mostly female. That's not a dangerous job. Can't imagine what could go wrong.

I agree with this and I'm a writer who hates to see words misspelled. However, I have made one error or two on this site because I'm off work and not focusing on grammar and I end up being accused of having an invalid argument. There are all kinds of valid reasons for people to struggle with spelling and grammar. The…

I don't know how you really decide who can afford what based on clothes. I've gone into expensive stores post-workout and rarely has anyone hassled me or tried to intimidate me out of a store. I don't wear Lululemon either (though sometimes it's Nike). I'm white. Meanwhile my biracial cousin attempts to see an…

I don't even know what answer I would look for with the pasta hair question. What is that even about?

More protein. Yum.

If said while "they were dining" which makes me think they could have used the soda fountain themselves but I can't speak to what every location does. Maybe it's behind the counter there. In any case, you try to prevent insects from getting inside the restaurant and if you can't you might as well just do the decent…

Well I'm not talking about my partner or any other partner I've had so I can't speak to how difficult it may or may not be to get that person to buy them for me. I haven't asked simply because I've never lived with a man before or had to ask for that on any particular occasion. I just know some men are ridiculously…

"My point is that bitching about women's rights or tampons in 3rd world hellholes is pointless if you don't target the real problem - their culture and their economy is complete garbage."

It's extremely dumb, I agree. But apparently some men don't want to sully their hands with feminine products.

Right? Thankfully I have not encountered any dicks that look like that.

Even though I'm pretty sure I support whatever Willow is talking about, I know she's doing it in the most obnoxious, annoying and counterproductive tweet possible. Then again she's a teenager and I should stop taking things too seriously...

Boo. I hear Perfect 10 has some good choices. The last time I tried a deep brown I went with that and it looked good - the trouble is the sun quickly bleached it out.

Now this is MY kind of feel good story.

Same here. Light brown reddish hair, but I'm afraid the light roots will look weirder than the more socially acceptable dark roots.
